In this course, students will learn about the three primary
alternative dispute resolution processes (negotiation, mediation and
arbitration) and several hybrid processes. Public dispute
resolution, case process selection and dispute system design will
also be introduced, along with discussion of the issues and concerns
about ADR. The course materials will be presented through lectures,
readings, role-plays, case studies, in-class exercises and
videotapes on the subject.
The primary objectives of the course are: to familiarize students
with basic conflict resolution, negotiation and mediation skills
that they can use in their personal and professional lives; to
become familiar with the various alternative dispute resolution
processes and their uses; and to critically assess the
implementation issues concerning the new field of Alternative
Dispute Resolution.
